>>315328878In street fighter you don't jump. Darkstalkers is all about jumping. People say the game is mashy, but it always brought interesting things, like EX moves, advancing guard/push blocks, extra hits on hardknockdown, dashing.

>>315328878Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior was one of the few capcom fighters that was balanced for its time. Also it was good from an artistic perspective. The "furry" characters you mention are only a wolfman and the other is just a girl with catpaws, they're not even the bad kind of furry.

Lets face it. Even if DS4 did get announced, everyone would start losing their shit about how the game wouldn't use 2D sprites like the old games and it would be nothing but image dumps over the girls.

>>315326762yep. hardly anyone here plays it. If you try to have a serious discussion about the game then you won't get that many replies.

But start an image dump thread about the game's girls and you bet it'll hit the bump limit

I'm actually curious what a new Darkstalkers game would be like. I wonder if it would be Night Warriors or Vampire Savior styled. I think Ono would have made it Night Warriors style because its closer to what they're used to making.

>>315334242It would probably be similar to Vampire Hunters 2 system, which would probably alienate core fans but a new game would definitely drive interest and certainly make main-stage at evo at least.

>>315334242Night Warriors was the more casual-friendly of the two, and that showed in the sales figures.>>315329008>animuIt's way more cartoon than animu.>decent sprites"Decent"? It was a fucking quantum leap visually for its time. Go back and play all the fighters everyone was making form 1993-1994. None of them look any better than SF2. People were comparing it to Disney.

I've been thinking that a f2p game could help gain interest in the series. I didn't think that Rising Thunder would be as popular as it was, but being free definitely got people who wouldn't have looked twice at it to try it. There are cool lore based things that casuals can cling on to if they decide to expand on that as well.

>>315335708Main thing really is just make a new game. Even if it's total shit, it'll bring much needed blood interested in the series and VS3 can have a bigger playerbase on Fightcade or hell, port up >>315329429 since the new game reminded people it exists and is worth getting into since it's still supported by capcom.

Ideally I'd like the sequel to be good, even if it's just Night Warriors or worse, hunters I'd be happy for variety.

>>315328878Introduced all sorts of new mechanics to the genre. Guard cancels, chain combos, air blocking, ES moves to name a few.Was a breath of fresh air thematically and stunning visually. This is right in the middle of the SF2 clone era, when everyone and their dog was making their own martial arts tournament fighting game,with its own karate dude, it's own Bruce Lee ripoff, it's own boxer, it's own wrestler, etc. Then you get a game full of cartoony monsters who do stuff like spitting snowmen at you, turning their limbs into chainsaws, and squeezing you in half with giant ghost hands. And this was all rendered in animation that was by far heads above the rest at the time.

The massive dickriding people do with the 2D animations of the arcade games annoys the fuck out of me because while they were very nice and pretty advanced for the time, it makes me think that nobody would fucking touch a new game if it didn't use 2d sprites.

>>315337837One of Darkstalkers' main draws were its visuals. So that kind of comes with the territory. I wouldn't mind if they went 2.5D, so long s they put effort into recreating the trademark animation style as faithfully as possible.

It got a PSP port of one of the rarest game in the franchise 10 years ago.It got a collection with all the games with "new" shit like Dee for the PS2.It also got a port with online mode for the PS3/360 two years ago.Not to mention the characters still show up in every Capcom crossover.

It got it better than most 90's non-Capcom fighters like this shit >>315339065

Marvel yanked the license from just about everyone and started making horrible mobile games. And contrary to popular belief, disney didn't tell them to do it. They let marvel do whatever they want for the most part.

>>315339710Considering Vampire Savior is the backbone of what made VS even work, you are sort of right. Capcom obviously wants to follow up SF5 with another fighters so it'll most likely be an old requested series or Capcom vs Namco. Darkstalkers is probably one of the most popular old series so either or.

>But Marvel

Disney owns them now and doesn't want to renew the license so good luck with that.

>>315340391>Darkstalkers is probably one of the most popular old seriesAfter you get past Street Fighter and licensed/crossover stuff, it is by far the most popular of Capcom's fighting IPs. All the others (Cyberbots, Star Gladiator, Red Earth, Rival Schools, Tech Romancer) don't come close.
